After The History of Sexuality
The Wrath of the “Countess Merviola”
Ferdinand Lebzelter, former head police commissioner of Vienna, was editor. The editors promised a campaign not against the pub and café owners, but against “pederasty” as such, to stem the tide of immorality sweeping Vienna. The term “homosexual” emerged in the 1860s, and what was coming to be thought of as human sexuality was being organized in new legal and scientific categories through the last third of the nineteenth century. “Countess Mervi…

What is the relationship of ideas to the city, and how should we rethink the "urban model" of intellectual history? Are we experiencing a resurgence of a model of European intellectual history focused on cities? Is there in fact an "urban model" for cultural and intellectual history? Meike G. Werner, Mary Gluck, and Emily J. Levine, approach the question of the links between cities and ideas. In particular, they focus, respectively, on Jena, Buda…
After the History of Sexuality
Michel Foucault’s seminal The History of Sexuality (1976–1984) has since its publication provided a context for the emergence of critical historical studies of sexuality. This collection reassesses the state of the historiography on sexuality—a field in which the German case has been traditionally central. In many diverse ways, the Foucauldian intervention has governed the formation of questions in the field as well as the assumptions about how s…

Modernism arose in a period of accelerating globalization in the late nineteenth century. Modernist writers and artists, while often loyal to their country in times of war, aimed to rise above the national and ideological conflicts of the early twentieth century in service to a cosmopolitan ideal. This Companion explores the international aspects of literary modernism by mapping the history of the movement across Europe and within each country. T…

Modernism without Jews
Modernism without Jews:A Counter-Historical Argument Scott Spector (bio) Sometime around 1877, while beginning work on what would become the opera Parsifal, Richard Wagner was sent an anonymous pamphlet attributed to a "significant Jewish voice." The pamphlet prophesied the inevitable victory of "the modern world" over the old, "orthodox" one, in spite of the power and elegant rhetoric of conservative forces: Modern journalism and Romanticism hav…

Edith Stein's Passing Gestures
In a mass at St. Peter's Square on October 11, 1998, Pope John Paul II elevated the Jewish-born philosopher, nun, and Holocaust victim Edith Stein/Sr. Benedicta Teresa of the Cross to sainthood.' The announcement reawakened the controversy surrounding 1987 beatification, which depended upon a definition of her death at Auschwitz as a martyrdom of Christian faith, a declaration reiterated in the recent announcement of her elevation. Now as then, t…
